Video: Libyans rescuing Stevens cheer upon finding him alive

“Bring him out, man! Bring him out,” another says, “The man is alive.”

“I’m deeply saddened and angered by the murder of Ambassador Stevens and his colleagues,” said the activist, who asked that his name be withheld because he is still active in Libyan extra-politics.

“I hope that the perpetrators are brought to justice and I’d like to clarify that Libyans feel great sadness and shame over what has happened.”

“Here’s the video of the young Libyan men that found the late Ambassador and tried to help him,” he said.

Stevens was popular because he supported the revolution from the beginning, he said.

Libyans are very pro-American and they see the United States as a force for good, he said.

The attackers are radical Libyans, who do not represent the regular people, he said. “It started in the 1990s, when radicals left Libya to fight first in Afghanistan and then, Iraq. When the revolution came to Libya, they came home and joined the fight.”
